LEARN DOOM MAPPING! - Mapping With Dragonfly, Episode 1

Join me as I begin creating a new Doom map and teach many tips and tricks along the way! Follow along as I share the powers of tools like the Stair Builder, explain the value of player-considerate detailing, and tricks to make almost any texture fit the length of any wall, all while making a real map that uses these techniques. A huge thanks to James Paddock, Tristan Clark, AD_79, Velvetic, Cammy & Emperor S P O O N for permitting me to use their music as the soundtrack to this video; be sure to check out their MIDI works!
